Mitsubishi makes some radiators (i-life2 slim) that are able to be used as air conditioners - They have a condense line. i guess they are air-water-air. Valliant has a controller that takes humidity and temperature measurements to calculate the dew point, then runs the flow temp just above that...
I was really started to get a bit concerned that nobody has picked up on the main issue with heat pumps in this thread, until i finally saw this:
Gadget Geek finally had the answer
Most of the people installing these see it as a money machine and not as a heating system thats keeping someone...
So you are saving £10 a year (84p a month) with british gas. You say the smart meter that was installed was an octopus meter; did the £10 annual saving really make you change? If we took the time that you'd spent on the phone needlessly to CS and multiply that by minimum wage, surely that would...
I'm not an electrician, but white PVC cable coming out of a junction box going to sockets? Surely that's not right?
Anyway, glad I ran a dedicated run for my granny socket after seeing this.
There are many 3 phase chargers around - 22KW destination chargers are common, and many of the pod point chargers are 22kW. We are also seeing more domestic 3 phase supplies as many have large solar array or useage peaks. I don't think the Renault Zoe drivers would be very happy if 3 phase...
Motorway automation is easy. Heck, even the MG has a basic version with MG pilot. Tesla has achieved motorway automation. Curious much you think installing rails onto 2,300 miles of 6 lane motorway would be.
FSD Beta is amazing. The way it's able to navigate busy city streets with cars stopped in the middle of the road is crazy to me.
FSD is an option, buy it early and your investing into something that not there yet but will be in the future. The amount of data science and processing that FSD...
Set up a hotspot (2.4Ghz) on your phone and try to connect it to that while standing next to it. If it connects, you know you need some sort of extender, if not, maybe something else is the issue.
Not an electrician but I do prefer H07RN-F or H07BQ F-Series cable over "Artic" flex for a number of reasons, but the arctic flex would work too. Just make sure you're not going to be pulling more than 10amps continuously.
I agree, i'm getting a few electrical compantants (namely a SPD and a type A RCD, please have these if you intend on using the granny long-term) and plan on using the granny as my main charger.
Your electric fire is going to consume the same amount of current as that kettle. That's why the 3kw electric heaters melt sockets, quite frequently. See some examples attached. That's just after looking at the first 3kw heater that appeared on amazon UK.
Another consideration is that wiring...
Because that's what sockets are continuously rated for. Pulling 3kw for a long time will cause them to melt, so its reserved for "bursty" applications such as kettles
3 reasons:
Thats £400 more for the charger (a bad one at that), that I can't use even because the PHEV only charges at 3.6 Max anyway.
£200 vs £600. Which looks more appealing to you keeping in mind that functionality is the same because of the KW limitations.
That charger is going to need to...
My plan is
Install a auxilleraly consumer unit (only 1 space left on current one and no surge protection)
In the auxiliary consumer unit install:
-Surge protector
-Type A RCD if granny has RCD-DD, Type B if granny doesn't have RCD-DD
-16A MCB
then run 2.5mm2 to the outdoor socket.
Fused...
